Temperance in Work.

Mayor Hewitt gays that he smiles when
men talk to him of working eight and nine
hours a day, inasmuch as he himself has
worked from twelve to seventeen hours day
all his life. have heard this kind of talk all
my life and don't think it is fair as against
the working men. The work Of Mr.. Hewitt
has been solely directed to his own interest.
There was inspiration behind it. That of the
ordinary toiler is weary grind from which
he can hope to derive but passing benefit
There is wide difference, therefore, between
the two cases. And another thing. II in
working as he has Mr.. Hewitt has violated
the laws of health, fail to see how his in
dustry is pIaiSeworthy. And the same is
true if his elise application has caused him
to neglect his social duties and the civilizing
amenities of life. Temperance is good
thing ii regard to work as well as in the mat
ter of drink or anything else. And the gos-
pei of overwork, if it were generally adopted;
would work almost as much injury in the
long run as gospel of idleness.-Washing-
